He sure could come in handy with my beaver problem. Been fighting those vile things steady for two years now. I had a fair sized gator and the beavers weren't a problem till two boys went shooting one afternoon. I specifically told them not to shoot the gator but after their shooting foray - which I'm sure involved some beer - my gator went missing. Can't prove they had anything to do with his disappearance. Maybe just a coincidence and I'm not pointing fingers. Its just that I have this hunch. I've knocked the beavers back pretty hard trapping but haven't trapped one in two months. Was feeling good about my highly honed trapping skills till I stumbled on a new gator in the swamp whiled checking the empty traps. Another coincidence? Maybe. Just when I thought I had become a good trapper this thing sheds doubt. I have another hunch he has more to do with the scarcity of beavers than my highly honed Jeremiah Johnson trapping skills. But I'd welcome that one in a minute. Just need to leash my dog so he wouldn't get eaten like my neighbor's poodle did. My neighbor suspects I had something to do with that but like those two boys, I ain't talking either.
